Abstract

The main and best evidence-based indication to date to apply repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) in psychiatric disorders is major depression. Nevertheless, given that the high occurrence of major depressive disorders poses a major challenge for health systems worldwide, there is an urgent need for improving the clinical efficacy of the existing approved rTMS applications and promoting the development of effective rTMS treatment approaches. Besides providing an overview of the current evidence here, we discuss novel stimulation patterns, targets, and coils; combined treatments and maintenance; personalization and stratification of rTMS parameters; and the treatment of subpopulations.?.
